Easy way to make a difference: Buy a water filter, save a Nicaragua family from disease

ERSLA is ramping up their water filter campaign again for 2010 in northern Nicaragua. They need your help:

Give a gift that could save a life.

Clean water is something many of us take for granted every day. But, in Nicaragua, according to the World Health Organization, thousands contract illnesses, and hundreds, mainly young children, die from the simple lack of clean water. For less than a nickel a day, or the price of a holiday gift, you can give the gift of health and life to one family in one of the most impoverished countries in the world. Your gift donation can help save lives.

Local firefighters are teaming up with ERSLA to help identify the families most at risk and provide them with a simple water filtration system that will keep them safe and healthy.
